About this playlist

The 2014 Winter Olympics are here, and for the next couple of weeks, ski-related sports will once again be in the spotlight. And while we can't all be Olympic superstars, we can at least enjoy one of the highlights of any day on the slopes -- the après-ski party. Traditionally, after-ski parties involve schlocky, revved-up covers, but for this playlist we wanted to make it a global affair, including songs from Korea, Japan, Italy, Austria and Denmark -- you know, countries that traditionally participate in the Winter Olympics. We've kept the overt kitsch to a minimum, but there was no way we could skip gems from artists like DJ Otzi, Die Goggauseer and Makoma. Now, press play and go party like a rock star (er … ski champion)!
